Chapter 61: Level 7 General
Chapter 61: Level 7 General
Lin Zhen silently sorted out his backpack, then put it back on his backpack and sat there looking at the three people.
Several people wolfed down the food before they finally calmed down.
The bearded man stretched out his arms and said, "Damn it, I finally survived! These damn monkeys, sooner or later I will skin these beasts, pull out their tendons, and eat their brains!"
Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng also looked relieved to have survived a disaster. They thought they were dead, but unexpectedly they met Lin Zhen and were saved.
The bearded man sighed and turned to Shi Lei: "Captain Shi, who is this young man? Can you introduce him to me? Let me get to know my savior."
Shi Lei seemed to be in awe of the bearded man and said hurriedly, "Brother Xu, this is Lin Zhen, also a member of our demon hunter team. We got separated at the gymnasium before, and we didn't expect to meet here."
After that, he turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, this is Brother Xu, his full name is Xu Mao, a seventh-level warrior master, and he is an old acquaintance of Tiancheng. If we hadn't run into Brother Xu this time, we would have died several times in the city."
Xu Mao looked at Lin Zhen with a twinkling gaze: "Lin Zhen, I've heard of this name. It seems that you are quite famous among the students. I often hear those new students of Changfeng talking about you."
Lin Zhen smiled: "Students are still students after all. They can't be compared with you veteran warriors."
Xu Mao nodded. "As a student, you are pretty good. You can actually survive here by yourself. If we were in good condition, we could have dealt with the monkeys just now, but we were all exhausted and had no choice but to escape. But you were able to resist those monkeys by yourself. Just based on this, your strength is no less than that of an ordinary junior warrior."
Lin Zhen could also see that several people were exhausted, otherwise they would not be chased so badly by a group of monkeys.
"What happened to you?" Lin Zhen asked.
Ye Tiancheng said angrily, "It's still the giant bear. There are two armored vehicles in the gymnasium. They were left by the previous team. There are a lot of spoils inside. We wanted to drive an armored vehicle away, but we didn't expect to be chased by a giant bear with its claws for a long distance. We are lucky to be alive."
Lin Zhen smiled slightly. These people were really obsessed with money. The gymnasium had become a restricted area. With the A-level mutant beasts there, ordinary war gods were unwilling to provoke them. They were not enough.
Xu Mao stretched his back and said to Lin Zhen, "Do you have any food? I'm out of supplies."
Lin Zhen shook his head: "No more, I also plan to leave Yilan today because all the food has been consumed."
Xu Mao glanced at Lin Zhen's backpack and said, "Your backpack is so big, it's impossible that you only have so much food. I just saw that you still have some vitamin pills and water left. Take them out. I'll be full and I can naturally take you out of the county. Otherwise, with the density of monsters here now, you may not be able to get out."
Lin Zhen didn't say anything. Although he had shown a certain level of strength when he killed the monkey just now, what he showed was not enough to allow him to leave safely.
Besides, he also wanted to see what Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng's attitudes were, so he didn't say anything.
Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng looked at each other, and Ye Tiancheng said first: "Lin Zhen, if you have food, take it out. We have lost all our food. If we don't have enough food, how can we leave Yilan? I can not eat, so give more to Brother Xu."
Shi Lei was silent for a moment, looked at Lin Zhen, but ultimately said nothing.
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "But I really don't have any more. I have a little food left for myself. You have already finished your share."
Xu Mao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Then what's that bulging thing in your backpack?"
"I don't have any obligation to explain this." Lin Zhen smiled and leaned back, looking like "what can you do to me?"
Seeing Lin Zhen's attitude, Xu Mao snorted coldly and said to Shi Lei: "Captain Shi, we were originally a temporary cooperation, but I, Xu, am sincere, but your team members don't seem to be very cooperative? Do you think that you can leave Yilan smoothly with the strength of the three highest level three warriors? Do you still want to get the armored vehicles? Can these things succeed without cooperation? You are making excuses for not getting some food, I think this cooperation is over!"
After saying that, Xu Mao stood up and was about to leave alone.
Lin Zhen didn't move at all. He had experienced too many things and could tell at a glance that Xu Mao was just pretending. He was afraid that he would not leave even if he was driven away.
But Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng couldn't sit still. Shi Lei hurriedly stood up and held Xu Mao: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, calm down. If you leave, I'm afraid the three of us will never be able to leave. Let me persuade Lin Zhen."
"What do you want to persuade? You are the captain, what do you need to persuade? Why don't you just give orders? I have already told you, Shi Lei, if you want me to protect you and leave, you can, but I need compensation. Otherwise, don't expect me to work hard for you for nothing. There is no such a cheap thing in the world!"
"Okay, I'll take it as I please. Wait a minute."
Before Shi Lei came over to persuade him, Ye Tiancheng had already started to attack Lin Zhen.
"Lin Zhen, do you still have any sense of collective responsibility? Are you still a member of the demon hunter team? Which is more important, money or life? Hurry up and give Brother Xu something, whether it's food or property. Money can be earned again, but if people are gone, there is nothing left."
Shi Lei also came over and earnestly advised Lin Zhen to put the overall situation first.
Lin Zhen also hesitated. Of course, with his own strength, he could come and go freely, because psychics had the ability to fly. No matter how dangerous Yilan was, he would not take her seriously as long as the sky was not full of mutant birds.
But he had no way to take Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng away safely, at least he was not completely sure. If Xu Mao was really willing to help, this might be possible.
Lin Zhen had thought about simply abandoning Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng and leaving alone, but if this matter were to get out, it would undoubtedly damage his reputation. The martial arts school would not allow teammates to be abandoned, which would be very disadvantageous in the long run.
As for going all out and taking action in secret, Lin Zhen had thought about it, but he didn't think it had come to that yet.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Lin Zhen first said to Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng: "Do you all agree to let him protect you?"
Shi Lei and Ye TianCD nodded. Although Lin Zhen seemed to be quite powerful, no one thought that Lin Zhen could reach Xu Mao's level.
Seeing the attitude of the two, Lin Zhen stood up and said to Xu Mao, "We are really out of food. If you want money, just tell me a number. But if you want to ask for a lot, it's impossible. We are not easy to be cheated."
Xu Mao rolled his eyes and shouted, "One hundred million! For one hundred million, I will protect you from leaving Yilan County. Even if there is danger, I will protect you with my life!"
Just now he glanced at Lin Zhen's backpack and saw a flash of light inside. He determined that it was the crystal of the mutant beast, but he couldn't tell exactly how much there was.
Because there were other things in Lin Zhen's backpack, such as bezoar, snake gall and the like, these things piled together, covering up most of the crystals, so what Xu Mao saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
But despite this, Xu Mao still made a huge request. In his opinion, the most Lin Zhen could come up with was wealth worth 100 million yuan, and it would be impossible to squeeze out more.
Lin Zhen sneered, "You really dare to ask for a price, but 100 million is impossible. And how can I guarantee that you won't default on the payment after I transfer 100 million to you? I don't have that much cash. If you agree, I will give you items worth 50 million to pay off the debt. If you don't agree, we will part ways."
"No, it must be 100 million, otherwise I won't agree." Xu Mao also insisted.
"Humph! If I remember correctly, you were the first one to climb up when I dropped the iron chain just now. This behavior makes it hard to believe that you would protect your teammates at the critical moment. Fifty million is already a lot for you."
"That's because you didn't pay me just now, so I have no obligation to protect you!" Xu Mao was still being stubborn.
"You ate my food just now, but I have no obligation to feed you. Food is also precious in the wilderness, and I saved your life. You should settle this account first!"
Shi Lei and Ye TianCD looked at Xu Mao nervously. They felt that Lin Zhen's tone was too harsh. If they offended Xu Mao and left, they would be in danger.
Xu Mao stared at Lin Zhen fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him. Lin Zhen also looked at Xu Mao expressionlessly, refusing to give in.
The tense atmosphere lasted for about a minute before Xu Mao suddenly said, "Deal! Give me the stuff now!"
Looking at the greed in Xu Mao's eyes, Lin Zhen curled up a smile.
